KLM review by Silvia
KLM is now consistently my worst travel experience airline! Their staff do not know the applicable benefits for each of their membership levels. It clearly states on their website that silver flying blue members have priority lanes. However, every time I use one, I am told extremely rudely that I am not allowed to use priority lanes. In February 2023 KLM left us stranded in Tanzania for 24 hours due to allegedly security threats. The official Dutch foreign ministry advice for travelling reported no alerts for the area. After I (finally!) returned home, I filed a claim to KLM for compensation which was denied with no explanations. Then I filed a claim for reimbursement of expenses (1 extra day at the hotel and 1 extra day at Schiphol parking) I only received a refund for the hotel. I asked at least 25 times (really not joking here!) to KLM via all the channels they have why I didn’t receive a refund for the parking. After 3 months I am still awaiting for a reply that will obviously never come! Incredibly rude, utterly stupid and I would expect much more from an airline such as KLM.

Last October I boarded a KLM flight from Amsterdam to LAX . After finally getting to my assigned seat , and getting seated comfortably, the Head Flight Attendant approached me and demanded that I change my seat to accommodate another passengers convenience! I state again she did not ask me to relocate to a different seat ! She demanded that I relocate. The Flight Attendant (She) was rude and disrespectful and could care less as to my feeling. I contacted KLM and as of this date has not contacted me. I give a thumbs down to KLM! I will never fly KLM willingly.

KLM review by Angelique
My son booked a flight in March to travel to SA from the UK in June at £598.27. Due to a system error payment was not processed and he didn''t receive confirmation of the flight, he assumed that the flight had not been processed. He booked a second flight at the same cost and received confirmation. The following day he 'noted that he had TWO flights and funds had been deducted for BOTH, so he cancelled the one. Again, a cancellation confirmation was not processed. So, he cancelled the second flight thinking that he still had the first. Three weeks before his flight to SA on checking Flying Blue - he had NO flights. BOTH were cancelled. After MUCH hassle he spoke to a consultant who informed him that he would have to rebook a flight at £1592.77 (TRIPLE the price). He had to fork it out to get home and KLM just shrugged their shoulders. It is truly outrageous - due to KLM's system glitches, we had to carry the cost of £998.50. In rand that is a huge sum and we have heard NOTHING from KLM in terms of compensation.

KLM review by Heather
Missed the flight and got the run around because of their non existent customer service. Social media links don’t actually solve peoples’ problems. Won’t honour return flight. Will cost thousands to rebook. Abysmal company. Will be sure to tell everyone I know never to book with them because of their customer service.

When purchasing flight tickets, we also purchased the option of early check-in, in order to save waiting times at the port and so that we will be able to sit together during the flights. On the first flight, we tried for hours to check in, but their website crashed and we almost gave up - suddenly the request was accepted - after so many attempts. On the way back, we were no longer so lucky - dozens of attempts, including in the very late hours of night and hours of trying to get them by phone - were to no avail. Desperate and disappointed, we arrived about four and a half hours before the flight. It didn't help either - we were split up in seats on the plane. we contacted KLM for a refund for purchasing a service we did not completely receive, they replied: "We apologize for the malfunction, we will pass the details to the technical staff to prevent future malfunctions, we will not be able to make a refund because on the first flight you managed to check in". in short, When buying refrigerator, you expect to get a refrigerator and not a minibar!

KLM review by Ivan
I fly KLM very often and my last flight was marked by the extreme politeness and quality of service. After talking a bit to cabin crew they gave me some sandwiches (love their cheese) and some gifts from an airline at the disembarking. Good food, good legroom for Europe, cabin crew is always polite and customer support is also good. I was able to change departure airport even to over country (LIN instead of ZRH). while with most airlines it is problematical even to change to other airport within same country. Check-in in some airports (example: SVO, BUD, LIN) is a bit too long and without Flying Blue silver it would have been not the best experience. Good price for money except high season and you can also check in hand luggage.

KLM review by MD Farid Faidzal
I only fly with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to Jakarta from Kuala Lumpur frequently. Although its a 4pm 1 flight per day out of KUL then 6pm 1 flight a day to KUL from Jakarta, KLM has given me one of the best flight services i've been in. From the check-in process at KLIA where i usually travel in Business Class, to their KLM lounge, their fun in-flight entertainment although it was only a short 2 hours trip, the delicious in-flight meals with few selections to choose from, the friendly cabin crew who always happy to assist me, business class comforts & the smooth flights back & fourth, simply was magnificent! What i love most about KLM flight was...either they will be ahead of the scheduled arrival times or their early departure from their schedule departure time....both were done by the flight crew in the comfort zone of their World Business Class

KLM review by Attila
Always helpful, always welcoming and friendly , staf always cares and tries to accommodate wishes. Professional all around. Good value for your money. Often KLM turns out to be the most affordable on my regular flight between Copenhagen and Amsterdam. Still there will be cold and hot drinks and a sandwich and snack on this one hour flight. Highly recommended

KLM review by Benard
KLM is in business. They have their own covid testing center called KLM HEALTH SERVICES at the schiphol airport and they force almost everybody take a covid test there even with a test from other countries over minor excuses. Forced a mom to stay 3 days for her to get covid test for a 4 month old baby. I stayed at the airport too for 3 days bc my results didn't have time. The one I took in their center didn't have time off test too.

KLM cancelled my flights on 24th March and have still not refunded a penny of my €1,700 Euros. They do not respond to emails, calls or social media messages other than to tell you that you can get an update somewhere else which either does not work or is not forthcoming. Totally dishonest.
